Lawsuit filed by conspiracy nuts against DNC is dismissed.

7. As a Democrat, I'm mortified that the people who brought the suit participated in my party's primary

to begin with. Their guy came up short by millions of votes so they go around filing nuisance lawsuits? It makes a pretty strong case for closed primaries, as I would guess many of them were not registered Dems.

And, yes, the lawyers representing the plaintiffs are most definitely conspiracy nuts. Their twitter feeds are all about pizzagate and Seth Rich. They retweet alt-right characters all the time, and they've been on Infowars to talk about this lawsuit.

Obviously, their alt-right activities outside the courtroom are irrelevant to the legal case, which is why the judge didn't consider that as part of his ruling. But, yes, they are conspiracy nuts.

And you're wrong that the case was dismissed only because of jurisdiction. That was only one of many reasons. The judge also found that none of the plaintiffs could show that the promises of impartiality induced contributions. And also that donating money doesn't automatically give a person a legal interest in the management of an organization. And the harms they claimed were not significantly concrete to warrant legal action. And so on.

As far as the one argument that the judge rejected, it makes no difference. There only needs to be one valid reason to throw out a case, and the judge found several. The duty of the DNCs lawyers is to represent their clients, and they did that very well.

One thing I agree with you on: I'm sure the plaintiff's lawyers are up all night trying to find other ways to harass the DNC and help Republicans get elected. But fortunately, this lawsuit is no longer one of those ways.
